Get MCP Key
How to retrieve your MCP Key or Bearer Token.
To use the Links SDK, you need a valid MCP Key or Bearer Token to authenticate your requests.
Quick Access: If you are already logged in, you can go directly to your MCP Key Settings.
Otherwise, follow these steps to retrieve your credentials manually from the dashboard:
Navigate to Settings
Log in to the Financial Accounting Hub. Click on your User Name in the top navigation bar to open the dropdown menu, then select Settings & MCP Key.
Open MCP Key Tab
In the Settings dashboard, look for the MCP Key tab in the sidebar or top menu. Click it to view your credentials management screen.
Copy Your Key
You will see your MCP Key hidden for security. Click the Copy button (often represented by a clipboard or eye icon) to reveal and copy the string to your clipboard.
- Security Note: Treat this key like a password. Do not share it publicly or commit it to version control.
Use in MCP Connection
When connecting to the MCP server (for example, with Claude Desktop or any HTTP client), include your MCP Key as a Bearer token in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_COPIED_MCP_KEYExample using fetch (Postman):
fetch("https://dev-backend.thelinks.ai/api/v1/mcp", {
headers: {
Authorization: "Bearer YOUR_COPIED_MCP_KEY"
}
});Example in Claude Desktop config:
{
"mcpServers": {
"links-finance": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-sse-client"
],
"env": {
"MCP_SSE_URL": "https://dev-backend.thelinks.ai/api/v1/mcp",
"MCP_SSE_HEADERS": "{\"Authorization\": \"Bearer YOUR_COPIED_MCP_KEY\"}"
}
}
}
}
